"[W]e provide an essential service that democracy cannot function without" is one of the biggest understatements in human history.
That's why bullshit pap such as the "story" I linked to above makes me so nuckin' futs. There are careers waiting to be made over good writing, good reporting, real investigative work, things that matter, many many many things that simply don't get time in the mainstream. And yet, somehow, they can find the time and column inches for this.
No, I'm most definitely on your side. I want newspapers and wire services to rise to the occasion.
